The Tiger I  £109.99 INC P&P had to get gearbox and track conversion and do it myself.

Would be nice if they did one of the Challenger.

Just arrived, looks great, goes well. The dog was rather inquisitive as to what it was, then ran off as soon as it started moving...

The Tiger, I've taken the figure off to the workshop (my bedroom ;) ) to be repainted. As I'm sure you're well aware, he's green, very green. He even has green hair. So I scrubbed him down a bit, lopped a bit off the bottom to make him sit better in the hatch, have painted him in Tamiya flat base, and given him the first coat of black. Doesn't look very tidy at the moment, but he will when I'm done.

The moulding of him itself is actually absolutely superb. Very crisp and features some very good details. He is missing his Swastika's, but I suppose they're politically incorrect now?

Swastika,s their only politically incorrect in Germany,and to me a German model that has a swastika, is incorrect if that swastika, is ommtted,my big Tiger has the aerial recog flag,showing,as this is the way they were in reality,so to omit it,would make the model less authentic looking,see pic

I fully agree with you Wullie. Very nice weathering on both tanks :-)). I can't find where my favorite weathering system (Tamiya Weathering Master) wandered off to, so I can't do much to mine until I find it. It looks pretty good as it is, and not something a few minuits playing around in some mud can't solve anyway ;)

How was the Zimmerit applied to yours Wullie? Or was it on the model when you bought it? It's an armourtek tank is it not?

Hi,the zimmerit is decorators caulk,it was not applied by me,i,ve just done the paint job,and as for being an Armortek,well,believe it or not,the majority of this tank is plastic,It a Field of Armour kit,well it started out as a FOA,but its had a good many ad ons,the cupola is metal as is the hatches,side fenders,exhaust covers,its got a full metal sub chassis,2 x 350w 24v motors,turret rotation,full Tamiya sound system,and lots of nice weathering,
You,ve made a great job of yours,

It does look good, must have taken a lot of time and effort...

I'll make a start on detailing mine soon, know where I can get the aircraft identification flag from in 1:16th?

Sorry for the quality of the photo's, they were on my phone.

He's been painted up properly, I then gave him a reasonable coating of Tamiya X19 Semi Gloss Smoke, to give him a smokey tinge, seeing as I painted his top in Matt Black, it's given it a nice dull sheen. Here's the finished product:

Theres loads of bits'n'bobs on Ebay for these tanks, figures, metal tracks half decent tools etc.

My Tiger is well started on its weathering, Ill do some pics if you like?
My Zimmerit was done with 'No More Nails', left to dry for an hour and picked off here and there to give a worn look, I used a tool made from parts of a comb to make the stripes, with tools of varying numbers of teeth to suit the area being worked on.

The HL Tigers are innacurate in several areas and require work to rectify, but if your on this forum you should have no trouble sorting them out.
The commanders hatch opens the wrong way, it should open to line up with the hinges on the other hatch when open.
The pistol firing port is the wrong way round.
The antenna is in the wrong place.
There should be only one antenna tube.
The lifting 'mushrooms' on the turret are missing.
The barrel is too short.
The barrel mount is also wrong way round, but there are loads of webpages illustrating how to rectify all these. When you have the tank open, its a simple matter to make the exhaust actually come through the exhaust pipes. I have a US Pershing, fully operational and with only minor damage if anyones interested in a swap too. (wrong period for me)

From your description of your HL Tiger,This is one of the very 1st models to come out of HL, The later ones are more accurate,i.e. mantlet is the correct way round,i.e. looking from the front, the rangefinder is on the right,the early Tigers had the twin port sight,and later models have the single port,
There are many inaccuracies,with HL Tigers, just as there is with the more expensive Tamiya,s,but its all down to taste,If your a purist then you have to do it right,if on the other hand,you feel that you can live with the little mistakes, these cheap tanks are great value for the money, and are great stand off models,
As for your offer of a swap,
you,re in the wrong section,try scrolling down to wanted/swaps  {:-{
